Across sculpture\, painting\, and mixed media\, the work reflects making sense of creating amidst the pressure to adapt to a world constantly reshaping itself. \nIt also radiates humor\, sarcasm\, and material pleasure. The stubborn act of making something by hand while much around you feels out of human scale. There is no substitute for the act of making something – as a way to process\, archive\, feel\, and connect. \nThe exhibition invites viewers into that shared space between grief and pleasure\, vulnerability and spectacle — and asks what kind of meaning can still be built from the fragments around us – the scraps of paper or the bric-a-brac at the thrift store. \n Meet the artists during this Oakland Art Murmur First Friday Event!

Beginning with paper pulp castings over structures at a former World War II naval base\, O’Connor developed a sustained interest in materials marked by history. In her exhibit\, Reclaimed\, she is drawn to surfaces shaped by wear\, weather\, and works with cardboard salvaged from the streets\, recycling bins\, and packaging. Through folding\, layering\, stitching\, printing\, and painting\, she transforms these fragments and other seemingly incongruent materials into richly layered assemblages. Guided by shifts in patina and form\, O’Connor builds surfaces dense with histories\, lush harmonies\, and active surfaces. Cardboard\, humble and impermanent\, originates from trees. O’Connor links the material back to the natural world. In some works\, she introduces imagery of branches and tree forms\, creating both calm and unsettling dialogues between the material’s fragile present and its living origin. In a culture shaped by disposability\, O’Connor elevates overlooked materials\, inviting viewers to sense the stories embedded in ordinary things as well as imagine ways the industrial and natural worlds might endure together. \nBio:\nPat O’Connor is an artist whose practice spans drawing\, painting\, assemblage\, and site-responsive sculpture. Her work has been exhibited widely\, most recently at the de Young Museum in San Francisco\, Transmission Gallery in Oakland\, the Sasse Museum of Art in Pomona\, California\, and O’Hanlon Center for the Arts in Mill Valley. Her pieces are held in public and private collections\, including a public commission at the University of California\, San Francisco Medical Center. Pat received her BA in Painting and Drawing from UC Davis and pursued graduate study in textile arts at San Francisco State University. Honors include a San Francisco Foundation Grant\, the Robert Rauschenberg-hosted Power of Art Award from the Lab School of Washington\, D.C.\, and the Arts Educator of the Year Award from the San Francisco Unified School District. O’Connor has taught widely at notable institutions\, including San Francisco State University\, UC Berkeley Extension\, and the de Young Museum. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nArtists’ Opening Reception: Saturday\, June 27\, 3 – 5 pm\nArtists’ Closing Reception and Talk: Saturday\, July 25\, 3 – 5 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, July 3\, 5 – 9 pm URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/pat-oconnor-reclaimed/ LOCATION:Mercury 20 Gallery\, 475 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Ongoing Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/OConnor_Pat_-Orange-Skies-Day-scaled.jpg GEO:37.804829;-122.272476 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Mercury 20 Gallery 475 25th Street Oakland CA 94612 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=475 25th Street:geo:-122.272476,37.804829 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260619T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260725T170000 DTSTAMP:20260530T021804 CREATED:20260529T002046Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260529T002046Z UID:10005005-1781870400-1784998800@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:Emily Shepard: In Flux DESCRIPTION:Emily Shepard\, “Boundless\,” 2026\, acrylic\, ink\, graphite\, thread\, on unstretched canvas\, 72″ x 84″\, photo by Sibila Savage \nEmily Shepard’s large-scale abstract paintings pull viewers into an immersive\, otherworldly space — one of shifting depths\, interacting layers\, and arched forms that float like portals above restless water. Working on unstretched canvas\, she builds richly textured surfaces through gestural mark-making\, watery drips\, and stitched canvas shapes. Indecipherable loops of script speak to rhythm\, breath\, and cycles.\nShepard’s work is mirrored by her practice as a year round swimmer in the San Francisco Bay: moving her body through cold water\, attuned to tides and currents\, releasing into the hypnotic push and pull. Her painting practice and bay swimming share the need for focused attention\, awareness of sensation\, and internal states. Each artwork\, like each swim\, is a search for wholeness\, presence\, and embodied learning. \nBio:\nEmily Shepard is a Bay Area painter\, born in Boston\, Massachusetts. She earned her MFA with distinction from the California College of the Arts where she received the Barclay Simpson Award.

Ordinary spaces become contemplative sites suspended between memory and presence\, inside and outside. Using simplified forms and atmospheric light\, the work reflects on home\, nostalgia\, and the emotional resonance embedded within the contemporary American landscape. \nLeah Korican’s works on paper reside on the threshold of memory. She uses images from childhood stories and ancient glass bottles to express the way memories endure—elusive yet persistent. \nIn this series of paintings\, Alec Marin reimagines scenes from his native South Texas. He centers the people\, who\, in reshaping themselves and their environment\, confront the economic and political forces that seek to control their lives. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nArtists’ Opening Reception: Saturday\, June 27\, 3 – 5 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, July 3\, 5 – 9 pm URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/gustave-carlson-leah-korican-alec-marin-thresholds-the-backroom-gallery/ LOCATION:Mercury 20 Gallery\, 475 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Ongoing Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/1.-Backroom-Show_Composite-Image_Screenshot_Leah-Korican.png GEO:37.804829;-122.272476 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Mercury 20 Gallery 475 25th Street Oakland CA 94612 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=475 25th Street:geo:-122.272476,37.804829 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260620T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260620T170000 DTSTAMP:20260530T021804 CREATED:20260519T234349Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260519T234349Z UID:10004889-1781953200-1781974800@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:East Bay Open Studios DESCRIPTION:See real local art this June! \nEast Bay Open Studios returns for two free weekends with over 180 artists opening their studios to the public.

Beginning with paper pulp castings over structures at a former World War II naval base\, O’Connor developed a sustained interest in materials marked by history. In her exhibit\, Reclaimed\, she is drawn to surfaces shaped by wear\, weather\, and works with cardboard salvaged from the streets\, recycling bins\, and packaging. Through folding\, layering\, stitching\, printing\, and painting\, she transforms these fragments and other seemingly incongruent materials into richly layered assemblages. Guided by shifts in patina and form\, O’Connor builds surfaces dense with histories\, lush harmonies\, and active surfaces. Cardboard\, humble and impermanent\, originates from trees. O’Connor links the material back to the natural world. In some works\, she introduces imagery of branches and tree forms\, creating both calm and unsettling dialogues between the material’s fragile present and its living origin. In a culture shaped by disposability\, O’Connor elevates overlooked materials\, inviting viewers to sense the stories embedded in ordinary things as well as imagine ways the industrial and natural worlds might endure together. \nBio:\nPat O’Connor is an artist whose practice spans drawing\, painting\, assemblage\, and site-responsive sculpture. Her work has been exhibited widely\, most recently at the de Young Museum in San Francisco\, Transmission Gallery in Oakland\, the Sasse Museum of Art in Pomona\, California\, and O’Hanlon Center for the Arts in Mill Valley. Her pieces are held in public and private collections\, including a public commission at the University of California\, San Francisco Medical Center. Pat received her BA in Painting and Drawing from UC Davis and pursued graduate study in textile arts at San Francisco State University. Honors include a San Francisco Foundation Grant\, the Robert Rauschenberg-hosted Power of Art Award from the Lab School of Washington\, D.C.\, and the Arts Educator of the Year Award from the San Francisco Unified School District. O’Connor has taught widely at notable institutions\, including San Francisco State University\, UC Berkeley Extension\, and the de Young Museum. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, July 3\, 5 – 9 pm\nArtists’ Closing Reception and Talk: Saturday\, July 25\, 3 – 5 pm URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/opening-reception-pat-oconnor-reclaimed/ LOCATION:Mercury 20 Gallery\, 475 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Opening Reception ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2.-Pat-OConnor_Entanglements_2026_4-x-3-x-222_salvaged-cardboard-acrylic-paint-scaled.jpg GEO:37.804829;-122.272476 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Mercury 20 Gallery 475 25th Street Oakland CA 94612 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=475 25th Street:geo:-122.272476,37.804829 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260627T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260627T170000 DTSTAMP:20260530T021804 CREATED:20260529T002446Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260529T002446Z UID:10005006-1782572400-1782579600@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:Emily Shepard: In Flux | Opening Reception DESCRIPTION:Emily Shepard\, “Pouring In\,” 2026\, 71” x 79”\, photo by Sibila Savage \nEmily Shepard’s large-scale abstract paintings pull viewers into an immersive\, otherworldly space — one of shifting depths\, interacting layers\, and arched forms that float like portals above restless water. Working on unstretched canvas\, she builds richly textured surfaces through gestural mark-making\, watery drips\, and stitched canvas shapes. Indecipherable loops of script speak to rhythm\, breath\, and cycles.\nShepard’s work is mirrored by her practice as a year round swimmer in the San Francisco Bay: moving her body through cold water\, attuned to tides and currents\, releasing into the hypnotic push and pull. Her painting practice and bay swimming share the need for focused attention\, awareness of sensation\, and internal states. Each artwork\, like each swim\, is a search for wholeness\, presence\, and embodied learning. \nBio:\nEmily Shepard is a Bay Area painter\, born in Boston\, Massachusetts. She earned her MFA with distinction from the California College of the Arts where she received the Barclay Simpson Award.
